Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) is a self-activating and self-inactivating enzyme. Both the peroxidase and cyclooxygenase activities have a limited number of catalytic turnovers. Sequential stopped-flow measurements were used to analyze the kinetics of PGHS-1 peroxidase self-inactivation during reaction with several

Acetaminophen has antipyretic and analgesic properties yet differs from the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and inhibitors of prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS)-2 by exhibiting little effect on platelets or inflammation. We find parallel selectivity at a cellular level; acetaminophen inhibits PGHS activity
The mechanism of inhibition of prostaglandin H synthase (PHS) by eugenol was investigated using purified apoenzyme reconstituted with either manganese protoporphyrin IX (Mn-PHS) or hematin (Fe-PHS). Eugenol stimulated Fe-PHS activity at low concentrations and inhibited at higher concentrations, an activity
